Montas will pitch in bulk relief behind Reed Garrett during Saturday's game against the Brewers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Montas has struggled often during the first inning this season, so the Mets will delay his appearance by three outs in an effort to maximize his effectiveness. The 32-year-old has given up 12 earned runs over 8.1 innings across his last two starts, however, so he still isn't a recommended fantasy option while he matches up against the hottest team in baseball.

The Marlins added Gusto to their roster as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Gusto will make his Marlins debut Saturday while starting the first game of Saturday's twin bill. The 26-year-old rookie logged a 4.92 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 86 innings with the Astros, though he pitched six innings of one-run ball during his most recent MLB outing July 30 against Washington. He'll likely head back to Triple-A following the doubleheader.

Pivetta (11-4) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs on five hits and three walks over six innings as the Padres were routed 10-2 by the Red Sox. He struck out three.

Facing the team he spent the last four-plus seasons with prior to signing with San Diego this past winter, Pivetta kept Boston off the board through three innings before the wheels began to come off in the fourth. Despite the stumble, the veteran right-hander still lasted at least six innings for the fifth straight outing and the sixth time in seven starts since the beginning of July, a stretch in which he's delivered a 1.78 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 50.2 innings. Pivetta will look to bounce back in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in San Francisco.

McGreevy (4-2) picked up the win in Friday's 5-0 victory over the Cubs, allowing six hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out three.

The 25-year-old righty put together his best performance of the season, firing first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 25 batters he faced and not giving up any extra-base hits while producing his second quality start on 87 pitches (54 total strikes). Since moving into the rotation on a full-time basis following the All-Star break, McGreevy has delivered two good outings and one poor one, and the overall results are a 4.56 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 23.2 innings. He'll look to build on Friday's effort in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rockies.

Boyd (11-5) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on seven hits over five innings as the Cubs fell 5-0 to the Cardinals. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Hits came in bunches against the veteran southpaw, resulting in a one-run second inning and a two-run fifth for St. Louis, and a lack of run support left Boyd with no margin for error. He's gone three straight outings without getting into the win column since having a five-start win streak snapped, but he's remained tough to square up -- Boyd's served up only one home run over those last eight trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.80 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB in 50 innings. He'll face a tough test in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Toronto.

Teng (1-1) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out four over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Friday.

Teng took the hill in the second inning after a perfect frame from opener Matt Gage. It was a good overall effort from the Giants' pitching staff, with Teng standing out with an efficient 64 pitches (42 strikes) during his outing. He rebounded from allowing five runs over 3.1 innings versus the Mets in his season debut last Saturday. Teng is likely to get another turn through the rotation, as Landen Roupp (elbow) is nearing a rehab assignment, which may consist of only one start. Should Teng get another turn, he's tentatively projected to face the Padres at home, though it's unclear whether he'll start or work behind an opener.

Irvin (8-7) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Irvin allowed two of those runs in the first inning, and he was done for the game after Casey Schmitt's two-run home run in the sixth. Irvin has allowed at least four runs in five of his last eight starts, and he's given up 10 homers in that span. For the season, the right-hander has a mediocre 4.90 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 91:43 K:BB through 136 innings over 24 starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the Royals.

Kershaw (6-2) allowed one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

After ending July with a couple of poor starts, Kershaw has rebounded well to begin August. He's allowed one run on 12 hits and one walk over his last two starts, winning both of them after failing to collect a victory in July. The southpaw is now at a 3.14 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB through 71.2 innings over 14 starts this season. Kershaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.

Sanchez (11-3) earned the win Friday against the Rangers, allowing one run on six hits and one walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Sanchez may have one blip on the radar in the form of four-run outing July 28 against the White Sox, but he's been routinely dealing on the mound since the start of June. The left-hander has spun at least six innings while conceding one run or zero in nine of his 12 starts during that stretch, and he boasts a 1.69 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 81:13 K:BB over his last 85 innings. Sanchez will look to keep the good times going next week on the road against the Reds, who have a woeful .604 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of July.

Senga (7-4) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

Senga cruised through four scoreless innings to begin his outing but ran himself into a bases-loaded jam during the fifth, though reliever Brooks Raley was able to help limit the damage after Senga was lifted. The two punchouts were the fewest of the season for Senga, who has now also lent at least three free passes in each of his last four outings. The 32-year-old right-hander still has a strong 2.30 ERA for the campaign, but his 88:47 K:BB through 94 frames is somewhat of a concern. He'll try to sharpen his control at home against Atlanta in his next scheduled appearance.
